"Male"

If all entries on the list are males, should it be mentioned separately each time? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vi2 (talkcontribs) 00:42, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In future there could be females as well (and maybe in the past, though I haven't seen any), so I think gender is important. Brandmeistertalk 12:35, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

life-threatening conditions

It doesn't look like freezing and hypoxia are the only problems one faces on a trip like this . The list of people who've attempted this shows that falling from the wheel well during landing and takeoff are definite hazards, including being crushed by the wheels. It's amazing that more aren't crushed. You'd have to know where to situate yourself in advance so that when the wheels did swing up into place you'd avoid them.
